Most Indians believe in taking advice from experts around them, this is the reason 75% of retail Financial products are sold in India through Authorized Advisors/Agents, India has 2 Million active advisors in the Insurance Industry and 50% of Retail Assets in India is sold through DSA and Connectors, which are again in Millions.”
